GOLETA, Calif., –September 12,
2012–Transphorm Inc. today announced the JEDEC
qualification of the company’s TPS2006PS, GaN HEMT on SiC
substrate, making it the industry’s first qualified 600V
HEMT device. The TPH2006PS, based on its patented, high-performance
EZ-GaN technology, combines low switching and conduction losses
resulting in reduced energy loss of up to 50% compared to
conventional silicon-based power conversion designs, today. The
TO-220-packaged device features RDS(on) of 150 mΩ, Qrr of
42 nC and high frequency switching capability that enables compact,
lower cost systems.

“Our team has accomplished the first
qualification of a 600-V GaN transistor product, allowing our
customer-partners to now introduce energy saving products,
Powered-by-Transphorm”, said Primit Parikh, President of
Transphorm. “This development also lays to rest any
doubts that high voltage GaN transistors can indeed be successfully
qualified.”
